Doral, Florida - The general elections on Tuesday, November 5 did not resolve all electoral contests. In the town of Miami Lakes, there will be a runoff election for Mayor on Tuesday, November 26, with no Early Voting but with Vote-By-Mail. That is the Tuesday of Thanksgiving Week, so if you are a voter there, please make your plan to vote now.
Josh Dieguez has served since 2018 a Councilman in Seat no. 3, representing a town-wide district. Josh is a local lawyer and member of the Miami Lakes Bar Association, and practices together with his father in the family firm. He has resided in Miami Lakes since 1989, when his parents brought him there as a child.
He received 47% of the vote in the first round to his opponent’s 42%. The third candidate in this race is expected to endorse him. Miami Lakes has some 21,000 registered voters and its turnout for this general election was almost 75%. As with other special elections, this contest will be determined by turnout. This time Trump will not be at the top of the ballot to bring out voters.
Josh is a fiscal conservative and has voted to reduce the city’s property tax rate to its lowest-ever. There is also the question of whether the tax rate should be applied to the appraised value of the relevant property, or to the original purchase price. He also supports spending taxpayers’ money wisely, prioritizing public safety and funding the police, and investing in infrastructure, especially drainage to minimize flooding.
He considers the following to be his main issues:
1. Public Safety. He believes that this is the cornerstone of any successful community. He supports providing the necessary resources to the police department so that they can conduct active patrols and install license-plate readers.
2. Fiscal Responsibility. He has voted for low taxes since he joined the City Council in 2018. As a result, Miami Lakes has among the lowest tax burdens in Miami-Dade County.
3. Traffic. He wants to increase traffic connectivity at the city’s borders in order to reduce bottlenecks for commuters at peak hours.
4. Flooding. He has supported investments in the drainage system to expand capacity, and also to make sidewalk repairs and replace street lights.
5. Beautification. He will continue to protect and enhance city parks and green spaces, and also to plant more trees.
Josh Dieguez is the best choice for Mayor of Miami Lakes, and we support him. See: www.joshdieguez.com.
